Down to about 10F, I use some winter (bike-specific) gloves from REI. Below that, I add a pair of mitten shells. Gloves work fine, while the mittens are hard to manipulate brakes with. I have regular bar-end shifters, so I can't really comment on twist shifters. I think any wind-proof winter glove should work well with drops, just make sure the fingers (especially the thumb) are long enough; riding on the hoods forces your fingers deep into the glove. FYI, I have no experience with lobster gloves, but I have heard good things about them; they may be a better solution for cold weather.
